Precode Recipes: 2# Warren William

I was looking through a couple of vintage
websites and to my surprise found a recipe created by the ‘King of Precode’
himself, Warren William. I’m not much of a pork chop fan but Warren assures
that this dish of ‘Stuffed Pork Chops’ and ‘Baked Onions and Rice’, “…is a most
appetizing dish, and…makes a grand dinner. Complete the meal with a green
salad, an ice, and coffee.” It is under the recipes section of the Silent MovieCrazy website and, again, I haven’t made it so I cannot say whether it’s good
of bad. Leave a comment if anyone gets the chance to sample Warren’s favourite:

Stuffed Pork Chops

Wipe six thick (one inch or inch and a
half) loin pork chops, and slit a pocket the entire length of the fat side of
each chop. Avoid cutting too near the ends, which will spoil the pocket. Stuff
each pocket as full as possible with the dressing. Skewer each chop with two
toothpicks. Arrange in a shallow baking pan, and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
Tuck left-over dressing around chops. Pour in enough water barely to cover the
bottom of the pan. Bake an hour or longer, depending on the thickness of the
chops, at 325 to 350 degrees. Baste the meat occasionally.

For the dressing, mix together:

1 1/2 cups soft bread
crumbs

1/2 cup chopped tart
apples

2 Tablespoons green
pepper

1 Tablespoon chopped
onion

2 Tablespoons melted
butter

salt and pepper

Accompaniment recipe for above:
Baked Onions with Rice

Peel six or eight onions and par-boil
until almost tender, changing the water once. To one cup well seasoned medium
thick cream sauce, add three-fourths cup grated American cheese. Bring to the
boiling point over a low heat, stirring constantly. Place in a buttered
casserole alternate layers of cooked rice, and the onions, broken apart. Cover
with the cheese sauce and bake in a moderate oven for about twenty minutes.

So what is Precode?
